Weather
Besides team balance... nothing made me quit a map in BFV more than the weather elements. Sand storm, snow storm and now tornadoes 2042.... presumably earthquakes, tidal waves. Please Dice this is the over the top crap I knew you were going to throw into this game. Just STOP!
Vehicles
Hoping for a BF4 style of vehicle selection.... sounds to me more like Star Wars way of doing things. I am not impressed if this is the case. Also hate the robo dog already. I really hate the futuristic crap!
Soldiers
In BFV Breakthrough one of my biggest complaints was the number of snipers on the attacking team needed to be limited. Often times more than half the attacking team just sits and camps with no real push. With the new class system is it safe to assume one team can have 128 snipers? Also I am fearful that you may implement a hero system like Star Wars please don't!
Rental Servers
Hopefully we can get back to RSP and turn off all of the fluff... like dynamic weather robo dogs and lockon weapons that require no skill. I really hope you give us the tools to let us customize the game as we see fit to play.
I was really hoping for a game that was somewhat grounded in reality or at least a believable work of fiction. You couldn't even get that right with BFV when you have actual history to use as guidelines. This crap will only get worse because EA DICE think that stuffing a game with more fluff will make it better. It will be futuristic crap to get fringe players excited for two weeks. Completely disappointed for a third release in a row. But hey all the cod players are happy ...because this is the crap they are used to. I could go on... but this is my initial reaction.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Whoever made this post captured my thoughts perfectly. Less is sometimes more. I see the same thing in zombie movies for example, every sequel tries to up the anty of the previous rendition. Start of with just plain zombies and then you end up with zombies forming a military unit, when all we wanted was an a standard survival story. They always have to one up and eventually totally lose their identity.
I stayed away since BF4 and I hope they have heard enough complaints they would have gotten it right by now. I will wait and see the finished product, with my fingers crossed.
COD may figure it out before they will though. I never played COD before unit Modern warfare. They have this mode called rebirth and it's a mini battle Royale. If they didn't have a perk called overkill that alowed everyone to carry 2 primary weapons, it would be easily the greatest game mode ever invented. With overkill most people have a sniper rifle which is unfortunate, I hate snipers.
I can play rebirth Island all day and night. It's a shame they only have 1 Island. If they did its sad to say I probably would never own 2042. COD is on their arse. They have a knew Modern Warfare coming out also. Right now I will be torn unless my first love finally gives the people what they want. Come on Dice. Pay attention, it's vital.

My dude,
We have not even seen (publicly) gameplay yet! Game releases in October and there is more content to come in their "live service" model. Hold onto the hype for a bit longer.
*Edit* Let me be clear though, I share some of your concerns. I am just hoping they are assuaged in due time...

I think the stuff we have seen looks very nice, I have a view worries about the specialist, but we have to wait untill the gameplay event to know more about that. I hope it will be as good as the other titles in the end :D

Ill help clear some stuff up.
Weather
Weather only effects a small portion of the map, The maps average about 5km by 5km (Think of battle royale style maps, and before you say "wouldn't that be a lot of empty space inbetween each town/fighting zone", read more youll see why maps are this big) There will be different weather events happening throughout the map depending on what section of the map you're in.
Vehicles
Robo dog isn't a vehicle, hes a ability from one of the Heros. Kind of like EOD drone from battlefield 4. Jets, Tanks, and Helicopters, and cars are the map spawn vehicles like normal.
Soldiers
This is the big section. so get ready.
Classes are Gone, they're no longer a thing. Instead Players are HEROS But will be named "Specialists". 10 specialists are release, after that the others will be part of the season passes you'll have to pay for. These Specialists fall under the original classes, so youll have a few assault, a few medics, a few engineers, a few recons. (A few as in 2-3) Around the large map, there are going to be AI soldiers. Yes, this battlefield title is PvPvE. You'll have hundreds of AI around the whole map + 64vs64. So majority of the time you'll be fighting AI soldiers, and then you'll have some players in-between.
Rental Servers
Nope, all servers are going to be ran by EA due to the battlepass/season pass challenges to earn cosmetic skins.

A pretty trailer.
The gameplay reveal will be more informative on what environmental effects will do.
Seems a little early to jump off the hype train.

Valid concerns but mate you got all that from the reveal trailer?
Not a fan of weather either, hate the loss of visibility but if it provides some sort of strategic advantage during the game I'll take it.
I know some people enjoyed BF4 style of vehicle selection but I found it lopsided and not even at all. Not sure how this is star wars style either, I didn't play the game. Robo dog is kinda neat, something a little fun.
Highly doubt there will be 128 snipers on a team but I know what you mean. If we get RSP we'll be able to limit the sniper slots anyway. It's not the games fault people sit back and snipe, at the end of the day you give people free choice and thats how they end up.
Yes, weather should be toggle but we still don't know how it fits in the game.
"I was really hoping for a game that was somewhat grounded in reality or at least a believable work of fiction" Yeah understandable but even BF4 tried to do some predicting of what the future would be and I'm sure they did their research while making this game given how long the development was.
Either way still too early to give up on a game but not too early to be weary.

Let's wait till gameplay reveal

Yeah anything that messes up the visibility is a con for me. Weather changes can ruin a map. Hope the changes aren't obtrusive.
New name, new look, same great benefits: EA Access and Origin Access are now EA Play.
